similarities of Catholic and Methodists

Catholics and Methodists believe in the holy Trinity (the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit).

differences

Catholics hold that the Roman Catholic Church's teachings and traditions are as important as the Scripture, whereas Methodists teach that truth comes from Scripture only.

The most important piece of the Catholic Mass is receiving the body and blood of Jesus Christ through communion; the focus of a Methodist service is on the readings. When Methodists do receive communion, they do not believe that Jesus is actually present in the Eucharist.
